i9k? wrong thread. this isn't onecosmics rom.

ics passion is a Vibrant only rom and has a built in kernel.

if your flashing onecosmics you need to also flash the accompanying kernel (downloaded seperately for his rom)

your best bet would be to ask your questions on the thread for his rom.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

it's useable, but you will experience rainbows randomly. it's not pretty mind you. also you won't be able to access recovery until bootloaders are flashed.

The Framework of V7 and V8 are different... The mods are incompatible for V8... wait for an update...
[Vibrant Android Development] erick3000:
What if somebody found a solution and hasn't posted yet? Ever think about that?
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
no. you misunderstand. i have stock vibrant bootloader but has this problem and then flash ginger bootloader as op said still same. i didn't flash any other kernel,just this v8 rom

i just confused why this internal kernel don't work with me but others are ok.
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
ICS Passion V8 is BY FAR the best Vibrant Custom ROM I have installed so far. WOW!

Soonw e can get going on theming this beauty :)

P L E A S E, read before you post, this has been answer already.

HINT: Toggle mute/unmute or speaker phone on/off.
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
like Erik says it seems that when Neo updated to the 4.0.3 framework somehow the internal fix he had applied in 6.5-7 was lost

when you answer your phone simple toggle speakerphone on/off really quick (some users report mute/unmute works as well)

going back through the old CM threads trying to find the flashable fix and see if i can't find a way to get it updated to flash over this rom. no promises though splitting time between 3 devices at the moment.
[Vibrant Android Development] alaw:
Weird problem I'm having. My phone sd card was able to mount to my pc in v6.5, but when I flashed to v7, whenever I put my phone on the charger it would not notify me that my phone was charging. The only way I could tell was it would say it on the lock screen. This also means that nothing happens anymore when I connect my phone to pc. It does not ask me to mount sd card. Also whenever I try to get into download mode to flash gb bootloader, the phone just turns completely on and is unable to do it.

I tried flashing back to v6.5 to hopefully become able to mound sd card at least but now it does not work in that version either.
[Vibrant Android Development] erick3000:
That's a useful answer....
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
ok redownload the rom. In this thread

for safety sake also download the froyo 2.2 bootloader

when you say i9k it makes me believe that you installed one cosmics rom not Neo's one cosmics is built for the i9000 (which is why kernel is flashed seperate) and if you flashed onecosmics, without his kernel home key does NOT work.

only other possibility i can think of is a corrupted flash/download so redownload from mediafire and try the new one you downloaded
[Vibrant Android Development] erick3000:
Perhaps your using the wrong combination keys for download?

Remove battery, hold v+ v- then pull the battery in see if that works (only for froyo boot loader otherwise u got gb
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
it is. i'm trying to find the code for the fix so it can be applied via flashable zip. atleast i'm doing something? maybe you could contribute yourself? and find me the flashable zip made for cm7 so i can decompile it and make a fix for people who can't live with said bug.
[Vibrant Android Development] quietstorm2008:
callers unable to hear me after i answer

Is anybody else having the problem where when you answer a call the person can't hear anything after about 1 second? I've been experiencing this since the first release.
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
maybe it's the kernel don't match my special phone:D i remember v4 also has this problem , but v1&v2 are ok.

This is just annoying dude past 30 post were about this problem Can't u read a little? Just a bit?

Do you have a kernel, and fast? this is a very slow

when you odin your only pressing volume keys +/- your phone should not auto boot when plugging it in. don't press power and you "should" correctly enter download mode.

:( i got everything ready to start flashing v8 this morning before i left for work and then when i got to work i noticed that GB bootloader is required.

I cant install the samsung usb drivers on my work pc cause i dont have admin rights. My work pc is running vista and it wont even find the drivers for me no matter if i choose check for solution or browse by computer and point it to the folder i downloaded the drivers too. Therefore odin doesnt recognize my phone on this pc. :mad:

any tips or am i stuck waiting until i get home?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:
wtf ????

Let go maryjane or get some 5h energy.

:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
just hold out till you get home, flashing the gb bootloader after rom won't hurt the phone any. just gonna have some pretty colors till you get home lol

also the x86/x64 drivers should be an installable .exe file. so the OS should install them then you reboot system and it should find them correctly.
[Vibrant Android Development] jsparakov:
Wanted to report huge battery drain. I'm at 51% battery in less than hour and 43% of battery use is from "*wakelock*". Anybody else having this issue or if this is a setting I might have overlooked (with the exception of turning off sync; I rely on sync)?

Included Packages in *wakelock*

Google Bookmarks Sync

Network Location

Google Contacts Sync

Google Services Framework

Google Account Manager

This has never happened before in previous ROMS I've used (non-ICS), so I'm not sure what's causing this. I guess the hotfix would be to turn off sync while I try to solve the issue in a more elegant way. I'll also give a reboot a chance! The ROM is awesome so far. The GPS working is a miracle!

Edit: I have wifi open, but my policy was set to only stay on if it's plugged in... how about that? Also going to try to calibrate my battery while I'm at it.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:
Dude ???

You joined in Feb 2008, and this is your first post !?

[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
I put it on without GB bootloaders and it is working great. Except for the rainbows on startup it works fine.

I have to say that Version 8 is really snappy. Great job Neo!

Wait this has backlight notifs??????? Lol ill do the switch now if thats the case

Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
[Vibrant Android Development] alaw:
Tried that with and without usb cable in. Still it just goes straight to ICS passion boot screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
yes, your keys light up after a notification is received.
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
if you mean backlit like stock bottom row lights up and stays lit then yes.

if your talking blinking backlit notifications like the old 2.2 custom roms then no. I haven't seen that feature in forever outside of a paid app on market.
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
I guess all phones are different. I have zero issues. Everything works the way it should and battery is great. Thanks nb
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
now thats an odd issue. maybe a 1 time deal. i had an issue with sms and wifi and rebooting fixed it, haven't been able to reproduce it again, hopefully you will have the same luck. as saefty measure clear cache/dalvik and fix permissions when you reboot to cover your bases.

screw it i'll go ahead and flash it then. is cwm readable without GB bootloader?

Problem i've faced the first night after flashing rom.

( i was asleep so i don't know exactly what happened)

The phone got a text message during 7AM, i heard it, saw the lights go on, but was still sleeping so i just said screw it. Then later when i woke up, phone was OFF and in the battery mode where it shows green battery at 100%.

Rebooted, everything was fine, i'll see if it happens again tonight.

edit: after much answering to the obvious questions, i think we should HIDE the download link within the OP so they have to read it all to get it lol.

I bought me a Xoom Tablet for my birthday.

I rooted it too and loaded a Xoom ICS for it.

Now ICS on both units.

well i was running v8 w out the GB bootloader and everything seemed great. but i was getting a download error in the market and the only solution i could find was to reflash the rom and after reading dsimages post about possibly getting dead pixels using the old bootloader. I decided to just restore my back up of v7 and i'll flash the GB bootloader and v8 tonight when i get home from work.

Thanks dsimages for your post.

I'll be watching this thread all day.

Thanks for that advice on the battery issue I'm encountering. I never thought of fixing permissions and dalvik cache. I'm currently waiting for 100% on my battery to clear batterystats.bin to see what happens.

So i loaded this and every thing is fine... except for my boot logo... i get the vibrant and then a corrupt one and then the galaxy nexus boot logo... can i get just a flash-able boot logo please? i don't want to re-flash the entire ROM for just that. :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Please read through the thread. You need to flash GB Bootloaders..
[Vibrant Android Development] orgwizard:
atnim...can you clarify a bit more?

so if you have a sim in and a usable cell signal..you should be able to call 911? the e911 thing is only if you're in an area not supported by your carrier or if you don't have a sim in?

I was under the impression that even if you have a usable signal...that 911 can't hear you...and you have to hang up and wait for them to call you back?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Everyone please read 911 disclaimer in the OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] INeFFeCTiVE:
QQ... I came from CM7 nightlies... pretty sure that i flashed GB bootloaders. Would v8 even work without GB boot loader?

My USB on my phone is only good for charging, meaning i cannot connect to ODIN or anything. Is there a way to flash the bootloader with out it?:D

... seriously? I am amazed that there isn't an answer yet. AFAIK it should not work without GB bootloaders... but it is working fine on my phone... so are there flash-able bootloaders without ODIN?
[Vibrant Android Development] nasgadth:
help! i'm on v8, i flashed v8 first because i don't have usb driver for vibrant, then i odind vibrant gb bootloader but it stuck at setupconnection and wouldn't go any further, please help, i'm always sooo fckn afraid flashing bl
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
Yes it does work without them but as posted earlier it is not a good idea to do so for any length of time.

I don't know of any way to flash the GB bootloaders without ODIN. There may be a way but I have never heard of one.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
First of all you were suppouse to already have GB boot loader before flashing v8 that means you did I not follow instructions. Anyway you have to Odin back to lidroid and then follow OP on installation. If you stuck it is OK to pull battery. Trust be it is virtually impossible to brick this phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
In regard to GPS all I can say is wow. It never worked this good even on froyo. I am not sure if my changes to GPS.conf and MSBased maid any difference but the thing locks in under 30 sec and spot-on with 6-7m accuracy even when walking.
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
So I'm at the random offset step. Will my phone eventually move on and complete the installation and reboot itself or do I manually reboot from here?

I've been waiting over 10 minutes and so far the progress bar has not moved.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
It does stick there but 10 minutes seems excessive. Let it have a few more minutes though. If not flash again.
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Thanks. It just completed. :)

For step #2 -- Do you just use root explorer to add file and name it .nomedia?

[Vibrant Android Development] dsimages:
I was getting this as well until out of the blue I recieved an "allow access" screen for maps.

Here are my list of bugs:

No lockscreen - I had it the very first time it booted up. Never again after that.

No gps, faster fix will not keep settings, I set it to north america and exit the app. Come back to the app and it is on asia again. I came from a MIUI rom and never really had a good gps anyway...

Camera is working for stills but not for video. Panorama is not working either.

Launcher is laggy

Home screen is somewhat laggy, (only when full of widgets)

I also experienced not being able to update the music app.

The amount of homescreens doesnt bother me but not being able to remove the google search bar does.
[Vibrant Android Development] eminembdg:
Wow. There's so many sporadic issues. Once again, my Gmail is fine. Try clearing the cache or data in settings >app and see if that helps reset it or something
[Vibrant Android Development] ScimmiaUbuntu:
were better v2? in v2 my accelerometer worked perfectly. In both v2 and v3 it' all a bit laggy. panorama is working here
[Vibrant Android Development] eminembdg:
Basically all of what you listed is mentioned in OP that it doesn't work
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Gps, Netflix, and Battery. :)

Since Gps doesn't work, I just went to Walmart and bought one for $99.

Now no worry. LOL.

Netflix and Tmobile Visual Voice mail works just fine.

Just did battery recalibration last night and this morning at work I am now charging and using the battery repair app that Neo had on a previous version.

I really like it so far.

Looking really good.

Everything is working well. Thanks for the build.prop updates I went to do it and noticed it was already done.

Alarm works for me, camera, Bluetooth,GPS everything basically I could make a long list but everything I use works for me.

Gotta love it waiting for it to settle more to give a review for the battery.

No lag here I removed CPU booster or whatever it was since it was force closing and working smooth since. No lag. :-) I'll continue to tweet your updates and make this the most used ICS rom on xda!

[Vibrant Android Development] keyframe42:
Since no one doing ICS ports seems to cover this in their lists of what's working and what isn't, does 911 work and is the headphone button working?

These two functions are deal killers for me and it'd be nice to know if they work before I start flashing.

Thank you for your time.

He just wrote to me to tell me that it was a false positive, and he has the same issue as we did in CyanogenMod.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
I cannot comment as I don't have a Vibrant, but I was told that 911 calls do go through on this while E911 do not. But given that it is using the exact same code as CyanogenMod (it is the same file that is used - SamsungRIL.java - for communicating with the radio layer), I am not sure whether 911 works for everyone. I think if you are in a tmo area, then the call will go through without audio and if you are lucky and the phone doesn't freeze, you'll get a call back from 911. Your mileage may vary . . .

I really hope Vibrant developers can find and fix this bug even though I've given up on it.

[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
No. You will boot right back up with nothing changed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
I have to say, v8 was the fastest I've ever seen in a vibrant ROM... this is the first one I'm actually glad I left stock. v8 has a few hangups that made me go back to v7, but the lag really isnt bad on mine now for some odd reason. You're doing great work.

Remember guys, this is a new framework. So two steps forward, one step back... I'm looking forward to the improvements in v9. :)

One #2 of the media service/deep sleep problem. You can use any file browser or copy paste it from another folder that has it.

GB bootloader isnt scarey, just follow the steps. Getting INTO download mode from the stock rom is the biggest deal. Download ODIN 1.82 here and for the settings look at this picture. I had problems with the "stock" image gb bootloader, but the modded one works great, you can download it from his original post here.

There was a post that 911 was working in v7, unknown if e911 was working. e911 does NOT stand for emergency 911, it stands for Enhanced 911.
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
911 issue is very important. I think we do need fix this issue before this ROM can be used as daily ROM. I used to expect I will never need 911 until recently I was involved in a car accident.

Never underestimate the importance of emergency call.
